Looks like postapocalytic fortress what grinned with fittings isn't it? This giant abandoned levee in Podolsk near Moscow was built in period of 1975-1990. It was the era of nature conquest, when soviet people drained swamps and turned the rivers back. Here, at the confluence of two rivers, planned to make artificial Podolskoye sea. But it so happened that the water flowed into the endless karst caves under the local area where in former times placed giant ancient quarries. So this project was closed in 1990.

One day my mother met a woman who was walking in the yard with a real silver fox. The woman said that one or two years ago her children wanted to have a dog. But in the store, they saw a fox and they begged their mother to buy the animal.

Fox became a member of the family. She was very smart and gentle. It does not get dirty their apartment, walked on a leash, and slept in bed, in feet of kids.

But over time, the children began cooled to fox. Fox grew up and began to smell the strange scent of wild. She began to spoil parquet, trying to digging holes as instinct told her. The family decided to let the fox into the forest.

They did not understand that the pet does not have the survival skills in the forest and it is doomed to perish.

So, my mother took pity on this fox and asked her acquaintances farmers to give shelter to fox. Fox was placed in my car, and we took her to the farm.

This tiny European town of the XVIII century, was built for the filming of Russian TV series "Notes forwarder of the Secret Chancellery", that was filmed here in 2010. Now the enterprising people allow to walk here for a small pay. Visitors can climb the sham buildings, giving free rein to the imagination, take pictures and just breathe the fresh air. There is also doing clips and produce professional photo sessions.

Sadly, judging by earlier pictures on the internet, this city is in decline. Many of the decorations disappear or break down. Among them, a steering wheel and the ship's head figure, a loading crane on the bank of the canal, a sham crosses on graveyard, the log for cutting heads on a scaffold for executions and so on.

However, there is information that the town can be revived and get a new life in another film.
